| Abstract/Contents: | "Seashore paspalum, Paspalum vaginatum Swartz, is a highly salt tolerant, warm-season perennial grass found in tropical to warm temperate regions. Paspalums have been evaluated for potential resistance/tolerance to a variety of turfgrass pests and for compatibility with natural enemies. The objective of this project was to determine the tolerance of seashore paspalum to Japanese beetle grubs in comparison to other warm-season turfgrass species and cultivars. Ten cultivars of seashore paspalum were compared for their response to Japanese beetle larval root feeding. Cultivars of bermudagrass and zoysiagrass were also included for comparison. Turf grown in pots in the greenhouse was infested with second- and third-instar larvae in this two-year study. Grub survival and weight gain, foliar growth, and root loss were compared among turfgrass species and cultivars. Few species-related differences were identified. Differences in grub tolerance were observed to be a function of turfgrass cultivar. Some turf types demonstrating tolerance to grub feeding had rapid root growth and high root mass in control pots, but this was not consistent for all cultivars showing enhanced ability to maintain foliar growth despite grub feeding. The paspalum cultivars that appeared most tolerant of grub feeding were 561-79, 'Sea Isle 2000', 'Durban', 'HI- 10', 'Kim-1', 'Sea Dwarf', and 'Sea Spray'." |
